In the final summer as an undergraduate, Andrew met his future wife and subsequently moved south to settle in Horsham. On-going property renovation and playing football make for active weekends. Andrew continues to support the Red Imps, via Ceefax, making one off pilgrimages to Sincil Bank, because his last season ticket cost less than a match ticket today!

Trevor Hucker
| Telephone: 01403 756502 Email: tmh@crickmay.co.uk |
Professional Experience
Trevor heads the professional services team at Horsham. He was awarded his degree in Estate Management from what is now the University of the South Bank in 1978 and went on to qualify as a Chartered Surveyor in 1980. For more than 20 years he has focused on landlord and tenant work, initially working for both large and small practices in the City of London, subsequently in industry, before joining Stiles Harold Williams, a large regional practice where he was a partner. In 1988 he joined Crickmay. He is a long standing member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and has acted in the role of independent expert and arbitrator. His years of experience mean that he is regularly asked to act as expert witness, particularly in rent review and lease renewals disputes. During the early 1990's when rents were falling and upward only rent reviews meant that there were few negotiations, Trevor found himself in demand as an acquisitions surveyor and he continues this work employed by occupiers (whether they be employed in the retail office or industrial sectors) to track down and negotiate suitable properties in many cases where they may not be openly marketed. This work extends over a wide area of the country encompassing planning advice and includes advice to investors.
The acquisition work Trevor continues to undertake gives him a wealth of marketing experience which places him in an excellent position for rent review and lease renewal negotiations.
Personal Interests
Trevor is married with a teenage son. His interests encompass an appreciation of architecture, particularly over the last 100 years. He is a member of the Twentieth Century Society and this led him to an interest in Art Deco objects and furnishings. He has a passion for 4 wheel transport and, as part of this, has owned an old MG and a Morris Minor for many years although his real love is his Alfa Romeo. Sporting interests focus on supporting his son, whether it be football, cricket or rugby. He also has to endure regular visits to Fratton Park with his son. Trevor tries to keep up with modern, contemporary music but in reality he was left behind somewhere between the mid 60's and today. Holidays are usually spent accompanying his linguist wife around France and Southern Europe meeting and making new friends. One day he will stop relying on his wife and descriptive gestures to learn a language!
